Plant 1 mill room employes
started returning to work Mon-day
on second shift after a
week's work stoppage, and fac-tory
production operations are
expected to be normal again
Jl•he end of this week.
•e work stoppage started on
S•Eurday, September 18, when
three batchoff men on a Ban-bury
mill walked off their jobs,
protesting a time change in
running tube stock. Though not
affected by the change, other
second shift employes in the
mill room joined in the walk-,
out, and subsequent shifts
around the clock did not report
to work. The three men who
started the stoppage were later
suspended for seven days by
the company. Their suspensions
ended Monday.
Lack of milled stock gradual-ly
closed down Plant 1 tire and
tube operations last week, and
it will be the latter part of this
week before some departments
resume work. About 600 em-ployes
of Plant 2 tires were
2.iced to rotate part of last
illllk because Plant 2 is partial-
7-dependent on Plant 1 for
milled stock.
No grievance was filed before
the work stoppage, but after
mill room men returned to work
Monday the union entered a
complaint on the specification
change. The grievance is being
negotiated through regular
channels.

Chrysler and Packard auto-mobile
plants have resumed 9P-erations
in Detroit, following
settlement of the strike at
Briggs, which supplies bodies
to the two car manufacturers.
Idleness of the three firms re-sulted
in sharp curtailment of
Airfoam seat cushioning at
Plant 3 and Plant C and to a
lesser extent. in passenger tires
and floor mats at Plant 2.
Airfoam employes have been
on short time for several weeks.
Resumption of normal opera-ti6ns
depends on how long it
takes Chrysler and Packard to
level off their production.
